The Medical Profession: the only job where you can commit manslaughter and still work! What a world we live in!

So easy to say when you have never been there , had to make decisions under extreme pressure when I qualified I worked on average 100 hrs a week I had great bosses but there but for the grace of God. One mistake when one is tired and my mate crashed into a lorry way home .

The law has a great many failings. Convicting
#BawaGarba is one of them. She was barely guilty of tort negligence, so how this became manslaughter is beyond comprehension. Reform desperately needed to define gross negligence manslaughter.4 replies 1 retweet 3 likes -

You presumably offer that legal opinion based upon your comprehensive study of the original Crown Court trial transcript? (Can we all see it?) Or perhaps you attended the trial in person? Although Nicky Adcock obviously didn't notice you there if so...https://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/1022815652002885632 …

John Clarke @C7RKY"What annoys me more than anything is the fact that all these doctors that are defending her: not one of them, not ONE sat in the Crown Court & listened to 4 & a half weeks' evidence. None of them know the true facts." Nicky Adcock Hear these words... and reflect. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1022436566445301762 …3 replies 1 retweet 3 likes -

My memory is that we were actively discouraged from attending (unlike the nursing team who made sure there was someone there everyday). Also wouldn’t have been possible to take 4 weeks away from floor

I think my concern is people expressing such firm views as if fact, when none outside the case have access to the whole picture. They actively discouraged you from attending? Wonder why? My money would be on them not wanting the consultant's testimony scrutinising by colleagues.

It just feels like the whole focus is wrong: I can’t see that anything changes as a result of this whole tragedy. Don’t think it would stop similar happening again.

Agreed. For one thing I think glaring cover up of the consultant's culpability has confused matters, but also there are 2 broader & competing agendas circling this case: Pts want a means to hold doctors to account and doctors don't want that to happen. Jack's too easily forgotten

Also issue about what happens when problems in system have been raised repeatedly before this happens. What do we do next time we can see this coming?

I think this is a watershed moment on that front tbh. We both know it's not a recent problem, so whatever group has been allowed to leave valid concerns unaddressed, exposing patients and staff alike to risk, need to be called out. But by ALL of you. They can't blacklist you all!
